The pace of stem cell research continues to accelerate, with rapid advances being made in diverse areas, from understanding the fundamentals of their biology to how these unique cells can give insights into the genetic and cellular causes of human disease. To highlight and evaluate key topics in this exciting field, Nature Cell Biology and Nature Reviews Genetics have joined forces to commission this authoritative Focus on Stem Cells, featuring reviews by leading stem-cell scientists.
The accompanying online library includes many of the latest stem cell research and review articles from across Nature Publishing Group.
